Week 7 Physical Intimacy

Well this week was a little awkward being in class, but it was actually good to know. We talked about the purpose of physical intimacy. we also talked about how often people don't prepare for it, and just assume things will all be wonderful as soon as they are married. People should talk about it towards the end of their engagement and reading "And They Are Not Ashamed" was suggested. Not together, but separately and in a well populated area (as to avoid any temptations that might be brought forth). What I found most curious though, was the cycle that Brother Williams brought up. Women tend to want a feeling of safety, security, and commitment before they will feel comfortable enough to become sexual. Men tend to become sexual to feel safety, security, and commitment. Realizing this, and keeping the other person's feelings in mind might make the intimacy a little easier in marriage.
